Bad Girl Sarah Michaels found love when she and Nick Christensen won the Oxygen channel’s Love Games on Tuesday night, but she tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that she broke the rules and saw her beau in public before the finale.

And RadarOnline.com picks up where the show left off with never-before-seen photos of the happy couple.

“Last weekend in San Diego we couldn’t take it anymore and we broke the rules and went out,” she confessed. “A girl saw Nick and immediately recognized him and then saw me and screamed ‘I knew it! I knew she was going to pick Nick.’ We were so shocked we both took of running in opposite directions.”

Fortunately for them, their secret did not leak publicly before the show finale aired.
